Anyone paint their 135i badges?

NY SLC 93 · 06-24-2008, 08:56 AM

I have a AW 135i and I'm looking to paint the badges AW or gloss black.

Does anyone have any pictures?

I saw a 911 turbo in white with the "turbo" painted white. I liked the look.

If you want black check out the "shadow emblems" from Bimmian: http://www.bimmian.com/SVE/82/1

EDIT: Just noticed the 135i badge is out of stock right now

I remember seeing someone with the painted '135i' badge

I think it would def go better than the chrome. Everything is gloss black on the car now with the sport pkg.

Can someone p-shop white and blak?

I have red and white emblems on mine.

I apologize for the terrible quality of the pictures

I think he's talking about the "135i" part, not the roundel. But cool emblems, nonetheless.

Oh.........my bad, misunderstanding haha

BMWeber · 07-01-2008, 09:29 AM

NY SLC 93 · 07-01-2008, 10:08 AM

It's exactly the look I was hoping for. Hope to have mine on soon. I'll post pix when it's done.

BMWeber · 07-01-2008, 12:31 PM

I only have that pic and I stole it of the E90 post. it does kinda look like Marks from the former numbers.

You are right, good pick up, not good a re-positioning job at all...

IMHO on AW black lettering like that dosn't look good or neat at all...but each to his own :smile:

NY SLC 93 · 07-03-2008, 10:12 AM

I want to see the letters in AW.
